Life in quarantine for amandahesser, a 'professional homebody.'
I was made for quarantine life. I get to work at home. In my sweatpants. I get to cook more! I get to be around my kids and husband all day. And I don’t have to talk much—a welcome break for my often “on” but actually introverted self. At the end of each day, we go outside to exercise in the park , then shower, eat a good dinner, and putter around until bed. What’s not to like?
The past few weeks have made me think in a fresh way about my career and what I spend my time doing. Till now, much of what I’ve done—cooking, writing, editing, running a business about kitchen and home—has felt like a personal passion I’ve been lucky to make into a fun job. It’s given me social cachet, too. At parties, when someone can choose between striking up a conversation with a venture capitalist or with a food writer, they almost always choose the food person.
Since COVID-19 forced us inside, you can feel this sentiment changing. Sales at Home Depot and Target have surged. With all restaurants ordered closed in New York and people needing to cook at home, Fresh Direct, one of the pioneers in grocery delivery, has struggled to provide enough delivery slots for customers. Electronics companies, like Best Buy, have seen a spike in demand for refrigerators and freezers. At Food52, our site traffic is up 53%.
